You just can’t win. Yell at me in the comments.
Posted on December 25, 2009 | 23 CommentsYou write: Merry/Happy Christmas, and everyone gets offended because you’re leaving a group out of the holiday spirit.

Online Friends are Real Friends
Posted on December 23, 2009 | 36 CommentsI caught myself the other day referring to a blogger online, and was stumped as to what to call her. An online friend? Friend? Blogger I know? I settled for friend, but it got me thinking: do people think it’s really freaking weird that I... -
Researching Rental Cars
Posted on December 21, 2009 | 7 CommentsI rent a car when I go back to Ontario or when I travel on business. Even if the client pays, I still like getting a good deal. So I did a little online research as upcoming prep for January/February when I may rent a... -
